Esbit stove update

Since the last post, I've had a chance to test this stove once more.  It did indeed take quite a few seconds of exposure to my lighter for the fuel to catch.  Once it did, it worked as advertised.  There was no smoke and it was odor-less.  For about 13 minutes the fuel continued to produce a flame and brought 2 cups of water to a boil.  It takes Ramen Noodles three minutes to fully cook and that is exactly what the fuel tablet lasted for.  If all you need is to boil water these little stoves are cheap, light, and functional.  Forget about any lengthy cooking.

  1. Ramen noodles? Haven't you killed anything yet? How long does it take to boil moose? Just kidding, keep the updates coming!
